Display dilemma

I need a new apple LCD screen and I'm confused which way to go; the 30" or the 24.
it will be used with a mac pro, equipped with the right Graphic Card to drive both models.
the problem is this:
The 24" is great but has a short cable
the 30" is the real estate I really need but it's about to be updated I guess. end of life cycle.
I can't make up my mind.
can someone help me out here

The 24" is great but has a short cable
There are extension cables available

I can't make up my mind.
It should be more difficult now.

Do not display field in report output using ALV

Hello friends,
I have a dilemma here. I sorted my report using a dummy field named asset_dum. now, this is my basis of sub totals but I do not need to show it in the display. Is there a way or an option to do this?

Hi,
The problem with NO_OUT is that if the user changes the layout he can see the field and there is nothing in the system that would stop him from displaying the same.
However TECH field should be useful in your case.
TECH
If this field is set, the relevant field is not displayed on the list and cannot be shown interactively. The field is only known in the field catalog. (For example, it must not be specified as a sorting criterion).
Regards,
Ravi

OBIEE:How to display row/columns where no data is present in pivot results?

I have a request from some team members to provide an OBIEE report of 7 teams and the number of open incidents for each team by week.
I was able to create the pivot listing the teams vertically and the age (by week#: 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks & > 4weeks) horizontally.
The dilemma I have is that of the 7 teams that have incidents tickets only 4 of them have data, thus only those 4 teams that have ticket data show up in my pivot. I would like to be able to reflect ALL 7 teams even if representing a dash or null value across the pivot for those teams that don't have data.
Does anyone know if this is possible and if so, how would I do this? I've tried searching the internet and found out how to replace a null value with a dash in columns/rows when a cell is null. But not how to display an entire row (or column) where no data is present.

You are correct; if there are no data at all, those teams won't show in a pivot table. NULLs or dashes only work if a particular column is null. There are two ways to accomplish what you wish. The first example I thought when I wasn't aware of being able to do a LEFT OUTER JOIN in Answers using the Advanced tab. The first method works nicely, though and is simpler to execute.
Read my solution here:
Re: Section Values showing NULL in Pivot
To do the LEFT OUTER JOIN read this:

What is the best display to replace a 15" matt MacBook Pro?

Hi everyone this is my first post. I have a dilemma that I need assistance with. I have plans on buying the new Mac Book Pro after two happy years with my current 2.33 GHZ *15" matt* version. However, as most of you will be aware I won't be able to buy a 15" matt version for the 2008/9 version.
I spoke to Apple sales and I was told that for the type of computing I do both the 15" matt and the 17" matt and gloss versions would not be suitable, which leaves me very confused and I really don't want to go back to a PC.
Here's some information on how I use my Mac and for what purpose - *maybe you can advise me on the best option*. I currently spend 10 or more hours each day on the Mac for work. 95% of this time is spent using Safari, Mail and iWork. The rest is spent using Dreamweaver and editing photographs. The issue is that I work from home literally with the Mac balanced on my lap whilst slumped in the couch (comfy!), this is where I'm told the *17" will be too large to use on my lap and is really meant to be used on a desk* and the *glossy screen will cause headaches* for this length of time. I rarely travel with my Mac just to the odd meeting once or twice a month.
What do you think is my best option:
A. Macbook Pro 15" Glossy
B. Macbook Pro 17" Glossy
C. Macbook Pro 17" Matt
D. Buy a PC
Please help me decide...Paul

I'm currently slouched in a glider in front of the fire using my 17" MBP on my lap with no problems. I have the matte hi-resolution display and I see no reason why you couldn't do the same. I absolutely love the real estate of the 17".
Apple salespeople will tell you that MBP's are notebook computers rather than laptop computers every time and that they don't recommend them for laptop use. The main thing is to be sure you don't block air circulation and exhaust so that it won't overheat. Some people use a flat lapboard or lap desk. I rest mine on my thighs and knees so that the vents are free and air circulates freely in the middle.
Many photographers feel that a laptop display is not as good for editing photos as a desktop display, but I don't know to what extent that would apply to the latest screen technology. I do know that my old iBook display was awful for even the most primitive of editing. The one I have now is more than adequate for what I do. A professional might prefer a desktop display, but you can always add a separate external display if you decide you need one. If you are happy with your old MBP and it would do what you needed, I think there is no reason not to go with a new MBP.
There are huge debates over matte vs. glossy. I think I would lean towards the matte, since you work 10 hrs/day, and that is what you know you can do comfortably. I have heard a bit more about eyestrain issues with the glossy display, and that might be something to consider. It would at least be worth visiting a store where you can spend some time with the glossy and see how you feel about it. In the end, it will come down to personal preference.
Good luck!

How to Display a game score throughout the Scenes

Hi there Actionscript geniuses. I have stumble upon this problem. As a novice in actionscript in particular and programming in general, I am very pleased that I manage to pull this scoreboard script ( listed below), for my quiz game. The script is simple, it adds points when clicking on the right button, and subtract points when clicking on the wrong button. The problem is that while this script works great on my first scene, it doesn't work on my next scene anymore. The buttons are not working and the score board is back to zero, it's as if the script does not exists. In both scenes the buttons and the text objects are the same symbols, as well the Instance names. The script resides inside actionscript .as file. What is missing or wrong in this script or concept?
I understand the dilemmas regarding using scenes, some people love them and some hate them. I also notice that Adobe itself warns about the use of scenes, but never the less, because of the current level of my flash pro cc 14 knowledge, I incline to use them.
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
public class scoreMe2 extends MovieClip {
public function scoreMe2() {
//Scoreboard starts here:
var score: uint;
function init(): void {
score = 100;
scorecounter.text = "SCORE:" + score.toString();
clip.buttonMode = true;
clip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, on_press1);
gButton.buttonMode = true;
gButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, on_press2);
button_2.buttonMode = true;
button_2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToScene);
//Positive button adding points
function on_press1(event: MouseEvent): void {
updateScore();
function updateScore(): void {
gotoAndStop(2);
score += 100;
scorecounter.text = "SCORE:" + score.toString()
function fl_ClickToGoToScene(event: MouseEvent): void {
MovieClip(this.root).gotoAndPlay(1, "Scene 2");
//Negative button subtracting points
function on_press2(event: MouseEvent): void {
score += -20;
scorecounter.text = "SCORE:" + score.toString();
init();
//Scoreboard ends here:

It's not really a matter of love or hate, it's a matter of practicality. Scenes work well for uscripted animations that flow from one section to the next. When you start involving coding and navigation you are heading into a troublesome realm if you choose to use scenes. They are simply problematic when you start to try to use them with code.
Your best bet is to create separate movieclips as your scenes and place them along the timeline of the first scene. That way you can easily have all your variables at the ready by having them in a layer that extends the length of the timeline needed. You should be able to convert to this somewhat easily if you just copy the scene timelines into movieclips.

I can't change the display language on my HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni

I have a HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni printer that I inherited from an employee who is no longer at the company. The display screen on the printer is not showing in English, it's in some language I do not recognize (and neither does anyone else). I want to change the display language to English but the manual only shows you how to do that on the display, which I cannot read because it's not in English, hence my dilemma. Does anyone know of a way to change the display language through the computer?
Thanks

InventoryLady,
Yes that is what I did. I do not know the language that it is currently set at, so the recommendations were from using the front panel menu. The OK button is the OK button on the front panel, that would not be in another language, it is the button in between the left and right arrow- See image below #6:
Once you have hit the OK button, you can complete the steps in my earlier recommendation. Again because I do not know which language it is currently set at, I am guiding you the best I can. As for selecting the English language, I suggest using Google Translate to find out which language it is currently set at and see what their word for English is.
If you have any more questions, please let me know.
Thanks,

Motion Menus won't display video or pics!!!

I have a dual 266 ghz "Macintel" with the latest OS and I'm running DVDSP 4.0.3
Quite recently, motion menus in DVDSP won't show video or still pics placed into their respective "drop zones"... and when I "simulate" the disk in the software, they don't display there either.
I tried reinstalling DVDSP, I tried repairing permissions, I tried trashing the .plist, I tried an archive & install of the O.S. (and running the online update).
Nothing is working. What do I do????
How do I get my motion menus functioning again?

Grunze, I need to ask if you've found the answer to this dilemma? I've exhausted all I know how to do... short of reinstalling from my system disk... and NOT updating to the latest version of the O.S.
Something CHANGED when I updated to 10.4.9 that broke my motion menus.
I can't believe that not many people are experiencing this. I've got a clean system with only the standard kind of software you'd find on a graphic designer's computer... Apple iLife apps, and the Adobe CS2 apps... Font Agent Pro... not much else.
How is it nobody else is having this problem?

External display mirrors but will not work side-by-side. What is wrong?

I am using a VIZIO HD TV as a second display . Setting the TV to 1920 x 1080 (it's max) and the iMac to 1920 x 1200, the two displays work correctly in the "Mirror" mode. When I set the "Arrangement" to side by side to create another display space, the TV displays the Invalid Mode error. The behavior does not improved when the two displays are set to lower resolution levels. This same TV works fine in all modes when connected as a second display to my Mac Book Pro.
Any ideas?

I apologize to everyone who is following this but I have a dilemma which I think Mr. Brody may be able to solve and I know of no way to contact him other than the forum.
Mr. Brody, you may be the "Geek" (compliment) I am desperately looking for, No one in our area .. and AppleCare (on all three of my units) has no answer.
I added an ASUS VH198T 19" monitor for viewing tutorials while working in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. DVI to mini for iMac. The ASUS runs at 60Khz and 1440x900 where the iMac is, of course 1680x1050. Each time the ASUS goes to sleep is closed, when it restarts, the iMac apparently sets it to one of it's standard resolutions 1600x900, unfortunately that's a little higher so I get flashing of the ASUS and ... WEIRD > Magic Mouse goes nuts with pointer jumping all over. Apple had a tech come by for the Mouse, wouldn't even consider the monitor, not an Apple product. Tech found nothing. I have talked with ASUS several times, they say it is the Mac and I now think they are right, especially after they sent me a replacement under terms of their warranty, very generous. It does the same! Both monitors work on our Xp Laptop, it lets me set the resolution to whatever I want.
When 'mirrored' the resolution IS set to 1440x900, works fine when return to individual UNTIL the next time it sleeps or turned off. Any suggestion???
Can Terminal allow a change from 1600 to 1440?? If so, how?? I'm not Linux or Unix literate, among other things.
Will most gratefully appreciate,
Ed in Pensacola

Is it possible to connect Thunderbolt display to older 17" MBP that has only a Mini displayPort?

Hello all readers.
I'm in a dilemma, and your input and help will be appreciated.
So, in my household, we have 3 17" MBP we are usng. One has the Thunderbolt, but the other two has only a mini diplayPort (Unibody 2009 models).
I want to buy the 27 " Cinema display (Thuderbolt) but am wondering, if the display can be used for hooking up all the MBP?.
Also the fact that I work remotely from home (I'm in IT). Sometimes I'd like to hookup Windows Laptops (Sorry for the W word) to the screen also.
Does the new 27" Thunderbolt display support this?.
Thanks in advance for your inputs.
Cheers.

You cannot make a TB monitor work on machines that lack a TB port.
So, unfortunately, that's a no to both of your questions - unless your Windows laptop has a TB port.
If you want 1 display that will work with both mDP and TB laptops, you need the 27 LED Cinema display, Apple still sells them from their refurbished store.

Motion 3, DVD Studio Pro 3, Compressor...fail to display interface

Macbook Pro C2D, Leopard OS X 10.5.1. All apps were running perfectly before this happened...
First, all the apps of Final Cut Studio 2 crashed on startup.
I recall that the last thing I did is trashing the newly installed trail version Aperture.
After checking the crashing log, I found the problem comes from Prokit.framework. I did a thorough search, the answer is quite clear that the Prokit.framework comes with Aperture 1.5.2 is a PPC version, it replaced the intel version that was in my OS. So the solution is replacing the PPC version back to Prokit for Intel. Finally I found some provided download links of Prokit for Intel. BUT..
All the Prokit online are extracted with Pacifist from either Tiger OS disc or ProAppRuntime4.0.2.pkg(from apple's website). So they are either version 3.1 or version 4.0.2. After replacing my Prokit.framework with version 4.0.2, all my FCS 2 apps except Final Cut Pro (but Log and Transfer inside FCP 6) stopped crashing but failed to display any interface. But the icons are in the dock.
So finally I cleaned up all the files related to Final Cut Studio 2 and Prokit.framework and did a fresh reinstallation of FCS 2.
Same thing! No interface at all.
At this point, I doubt if the Prokit.framework in Leopard OS disc is different. It's too bad that I'm traveling for a project and my Leopard DVD is not in hand. So I asked a friend using Pacifist to extract Prokit.framework and Browser.framework from his Leopard DVD and sent them over. Now I found that they are indeed different. The one from Leopard is version 4.1. I did a replace again. Now, Motion 3, DVD Studio Pro 3 and Compressor start up, but with black windows and a few images, and the menu bars are really weird. I guess I should install this two framework with Pacifist instead of replacing them with the extracted folders?
The last resort I guess is to reinstall Leopard? My dilemma if I don't finish my project, I have no access to my OS DVD, but I need to use FCS 2 to finish the project.
Has anyone run into the same situation? Any enlightenment will be appreciated!

I have just installed Leopard ans having problems with DDVDSPRO crasshing, can you please expand on how i may install prokit.framework and Browerkit frame work with Pacifist. I am not an expert please bear in mind!!
many thanks

20 inch 2.4Ghz iMac with 2nd Display

Is there anyone out there using a 20 or 24 inch 2.4Ghz iMac with a 2nd Display with Aperture?
I'm interested to know if Aperture 2 will perform adequately, or whether the demanding graphics requirements of Aperture will be over-extending the iMac graphics card with a second display.
My dilemma is that my G5 with Radeon 9600 graphics doesn't really cut the mustard, and the display of my 20 inch iMac isn't suitable for critical image editing applications due to the graduation in screen brightness from top to bottom; so until I can justify the move to a Mac Pro, my options are either getting the (increasingly hard to get) x800 XT card for the G5, or (and maybe the better option?) a second display for the iMac.
Many thanks in advance!
Forrest Smyth

Thanks Mark - yes I have an iMac as well as a G5 with AGP graphics and the 9600 card, so it's a toss up between buying a second display for the iMac, or a x800 XT card for the G5. My iMac also has 4Gb of ram compared to the G5's 3Gb.
My thinking is that by going the iMac with a second display route, I will have the advantage of two displays for not a lot more than the cost of an x800 XT card (if I can find one), in a system that is [possibly] snappier running Aperture. The fly in the ointment could be the extra overhead of a second display on the iMac - so I'm hoping someone who is running Aperture with dual displays on an iMac might read this and provide some feedback.

24" LCD has Super short mini-display cable that does not reach

I was setting up a 24" display (on an LCD arm) and i noticed the mini display cable is very, very short. It does not reach to the Mac Pro under the desk. I guess the 24" displays were made for laptops and did not expect that the cables would need to reach under a desk.
I couldn't find a Mini-display to Mini-display extender. Does anyone know of one?
Anyone considering two 24" monitors might want to review their own setup, to see if it works with the exceptionally short mini display video cables on the 24" display.
Message was edited by: Charles Barone

Charles, did you ever find a solution for this problem? I am ready to get a new Mac Pro and 24" display, but a 3 foot (1 meter?) cable is about two feet too short. I don't want to have the MP box sitting between my feet so it can be within 3' of the connector at the back of the display. I talked with someone at the on-line apple store today and he checked with an engineer and looked at the cable that comes with the display, and it was indeed only ~3' long. Since this type of monitor connection (the mini display port) is supposedly going to become the new "standard", I would hope that companies (e.g., Belkin, etc) will have high quality but longer cables available. I assume that the cable you have has the same mini display port plug on each end, and no adaptors are necessary?
If anyone has a solution to this short cable dilemma, please chime in!
Thanks

ITunes not displaying Talking Walking podcasts – how can I resolve this?

iTunes not displaying Talking Walking podcasts – how can I resolve this?
http://www.talkingwalking.net
Created on iWeb version 3.0.4
Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)
Upgraded to Snow Leopard in August 2010 from Tiger.
Originally published 26 podcast episodes using IWeb to MobileMe and successfully had them in the iTunes store. Then upgraded to Snow Leopard and had consistent problems publishing through iWeb, with messages appearing saying that the site hadn’t published on MobileMe or that the upload had timed out.
This meant that I had to upload the whole site whenever I made a slight change or published a new episode. Some of the pages failed to completely load on the website, and none of the new episodes appeared in the iTunes store. However, it was still possible to subscribe to the new episodes through the website Subscribe button.
Earlier this year, the original 26 episodes vanished from the ITunes store.
At the end of June, I moved my server from MobileMe to Rage and subsequently the website publishes without any time out messages or pages not fully functioning. This means that when I come to make updates or add a new episode, I can speedily upload changes.
I have tried to resubmit the feed for the website to the iTunes store but Talking Walking still does not appear in the store (nor do any of the links to the individual podcasts from the website work), however, you can still subscribe to podcasts, but now only those uploaded since August 2010.
I have sent an e mail to iTunes explaining my dilemma but have had no reply.
Would welcome any suggestions as to how I can rectify this issue. Next year is the fifth anniversary of Talking Walking podcasts and it would be nice to see them available again through the iTunes store.
With thanks, Andrew
[email protected]

Your feed is at http://www.talkingwalking.net/public/Talking_Walking/rss.xml . It contains episodes running from 23 February 2008 to 20 September 2012 and when you subscribe to this feed in the iTunes application all the episodes appear. The link on your web page is to this feed, so subscribing from the page works OK,
Searching for 'Talking Walking' in the iTunes Store produces a lot of result, none of them relevant or yours. This rather suggests that your podcast has been removed from the Store - if the feed wasn't functioning for an appreciable time this would be a normal reason for removal.
if your feed was originally on MobileMe and you have moved it to another server you have to tell the iTunes Store about this by adding a special tag to the feed - details here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/podcast.html#move
If you did not do this - and it's now too late - the Store will have been stuck looking for the non-existent old feed, which will very likely get your podcast removed.
You mention seeing the web page for the Store page - it's not possible to check this unless you post the URL.
If the podcast has been removed from the Store you will have to re-submit it as a new one. Unfortunately there is a bug in the automated part of the submissions process which will tell you the feed has already been submitted, even when it's been removed. In order to get round this you will have to change the title of the feed slghtly. You can always change it back later provided that doing so does not change the feed URL - I think this may well happen if you are using iWeb, so be cautious about this.

Dilemma?? GTX 570, 580 or Quadro 4000

hey guys apologies if im in the wrong place for this, its my first ever post online! I have a slight dilemma, I have just recently ordered a new setup, however im confused as to which graphics card to go for. I will mainly use the system for HD Video editing (Sony HVR Z7) using premiere Pro CS5 and after effects. From what i have read the GTX range is more than capable of accelerating certain effects in premiere pro, but will the quadro be better?
My other main use of the pc is that I would like to hook it up to my Sim 2 Lumis host projector, via HDMI or DVI, now, since the Quadro has 10 bit video would this in any way re produce a much better image quality than the GTX range? Or is this only limited to the display port? Is the 10bit video sent through all ports even HDMI/DVI? I know that my projector has 10bit Video Processing. I would really appreciate some guidance on this, as im wanting to place an order for the card asap.
(Money is not an issue with regards to those cards)
Many Thanks guys.

Incase you need reference for what Deep Color is in the HDMI standard BTW:
http://www.hdmi.org/learningcenter/faq.aspx
HDMI 1.3:
Higher speed: HDMI 1.3 increases its single-link bandwidth to 340 MHz (10.2 Gbps) to support the demands of future HD display devices, such as higher resolutions, Deep Color and high frame rates. In addition, built into the HDMI 1.3 specification is the technical foundation that will let future versions of HDMI reach significantly higher speeds.
Deep Color: HDMI 1.3 supports 10-bit, 12-bit and 16-bit (RGB or YCbCr) color depths, up from the 8-bit depths in previous versions of the HDMI specification, for stunning rendering of over one billion colors in unprecedented detail.
Broader color space: HDMI 1.3 adds support for “x.v.Color™” (which is the consumer name describing the IEC 61966-2-4 xvYCC color standard), which removes current color space limitations and enables the display of any color viewable by the human eye.
New mini connector: With small portable devices such as HD camcorders and still cameras demanding seamless connectivity to HDTVs, HDMI 1.3 offers a new, smaller form factor connector option.
Lip Sync: Because consumer electronics devices are using increasingly complex digital signal processing to enhance the clarity and detail of the content, synchronization of video and audio in user devices has become a greater challenge and could potentially require complex end-user adjustments. HDMI 1.3 incorporates automatic audio synching capabilities that allows devices to perform this synchronization automatically with total accuracy.
New HD lossless audio formats: In addition to HDMI’s current ability to support high-bandwidth uncompressed digital audio and all currently-available compressed formats (such as Dolby® Digital and DTS®), HDMI 1.3 adds additional support for new lossless compressed digital audio formats Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio™.
